Parliament to introduce live broadcast
7 May 2011 02:36 pm - 39 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The Parliament will soon introduce live broadcasts of its proceedings, Deputy Speaker Chandima Weerakkody said.
In an interview with the BBC Sinhala service, Sandeshaya, Mr. Weerakkody said that that the initial trial will only be limited to radio broadcast.
“The speaker is committed to broadcast the proceedings of our parliament to the Sri Lankan people,” he said.
“As it is going to be a trial, there won’t be television coverage in the beginning.”
The deputy speaker, who is in London by the invitation of UK parliament to study Westminster system, said the arrangements are underway for the live broadcast of the proceedings to begin as soon as possible.
“We hope all the parliamentarians will behave more responsibly as the live broadcasts begin,” he added but said that no date has been agreed for the first broadcast.
The Galle district MP has held discussions with the speaker of the UK parliament, three deputy speakers, the general secretary, heads of parliamentary departments as well as the parliamentarians during his study tour.
He used the opportunity, said Deputy Speaker Weerakkody, to explain to the Westminster MPs the efforts by the Sri Lankan government to defeat terrorism.
“In fact, the situation arose after the killing of Bin Laden has made it easy for us to explain and understand the real efforts to defeat the terrorism,” Chandima Weerakkody said.

Before we get to excited it might be worth thinking about who will have editorial control over the "live broadcasts".

This is a fantastic move in terms of exposing the public to what goes on . It may even increase discipline and accountability.

minors (under 18) should not be allowed to access parliament broadcasting.
Godaya Sunday, 08 May 2011 01:05 AM
An excellent way to show how mean and low some of our parliamentarians are but certainly should come under Adult Comedy category.
Marikkar Sunday, 08 May 2011 01:33 AM
